THIS IS NOT A DRILL: What every American needs to understand right now is that:

1) Trump just announced that any country buying oil from Iran will be completely banished from conducting any trade with America.

2) China is the No. 1 purchaser of oil from Iran. Therefore, China is, as of today, banished from all trade with America.

3) Trump specifically said, "They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form." Unless his words no longer mean anything, this is a policy announcement of a complete economic embargo against China.

4) It was a U.S. naval embargo against Japan in 1941 that provoked Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and engineered American support for joining the escalating war in the Pacific. Now, Trump is repeating a similar tactic for China.

5) It's clear to me that Trump hopes China will lash out like Japan did in WWII, so that Trump's team of warmonger neocons can have a justification to launch a whole new war with China.

6) Trump is desperately trying to end the war with Russia so that he can "sequence" the three conflicts (China, Iran, Russia) and fight only one of them at a time. China is Trump's real target, as it poses by far the greatest threat to the USA in terms of AI dominance, robotics dominance, rare earths dominance, naval shipyard dominance, materials science, engineering, etc.

IGOR STRELKOV ON RUSSIA'S PARTICIPATION IN THE IRANIAN-ISRAELI MILITARY CONFLICT

Our country's position towards Iran is very unclear. Not long ago we signed a strategic partnership agreement with this state. It is difficult for me to judge how necessary it was, how reliable Iran really is for us. But since the agreement was signed, it is completely unclear why we do not support Iran at least at the proper military-technical level.

I am not saying that we should fight for it, as far as I know, this is not envisaged. But nevertheless, no truly tough statements about military-technical support for this country have been made by our officials.

This is strange to me. I always believed that if some agreements are concluded in the name of Russia, then they should be implemented at least for the sake of Russia's prestige.

Well, and unfortunately (this doesn't get through at all in the Russian media, maybe it's on the Internet - I hope they'll send it to me) - the position of China is quite unclear to me. China is Iran's main partner, and China is probably even more interested than Russia in Iran being able to resist the aggression that is being unleashed against it.

In fact, the US will soon enter the case against Iran, I have no doubt about it, in fact, this was implied. Iran was subjected to a massive air attack by Israel, which was carefully prepared and by all parameters is a natural war, and not an operation.

Either we are not broadcasting the statements of the Chinese, or the Chinese have not yet decided on the form of response to this attack on their strategic and economic ally.

In general, of course, Iran will not be able to resist the combined might of the USA and Israel unless it receives sufficiently serious support. The parameters of this support, I believe, could be very serious at least at the level of Russia, since it is Russia that has developed air defense systems and developed missile systems, with the help of which Iran could, if not respond to Israel, then at least threaten to use these weapons. And perhaps this would stop Israel from further aggression and from aggression as such.

But again, nothing like this was said in our statements, and, in my opinion, this violates the very spirit of the agreements that were previously reached between Moscow and Tehran.

🇮🇷China begins shipping mystery cargo to Iran after Israeli attack – The Telegraph

The day after the Israeli strike, a cargo plane took off from China on Friday. The next day, a second plane took off from the coastal city. On Monday, another one, this time from Shanghai.

As they approached Iranian territory, the planes disappeared from radars.

Each plane flew west through northern China, then crossed Kazakhstan, descended through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan - and disappeared as they approached Iran.

The flight plan indicated Luxembourg as the final destination, but the aircraft never approached European skies.

According to aviation experts, the Boeing 747s used are typically used to transport military equipment, machinery and weapons .

IGOR STRELKOV ON POSSIBLE SCENARIOS OF THE IRAN-ISRAELI CONFLICT AND THE PROBABILITY OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEING USED IN IT

At present, I believe that the conflict will develop according to two possible scenarios, depending on whether China (and to some extent Russia) will help it or not.

One of the probable scenarios. Iran is left alone, without the support of the Russian Federation (this, by the way, is already a fact) and without real support from China. And in this case, within a month, it will be bombed into the Stone Age.

This is precisely what Israel (and the Americans, who I expect to intervene in the conflict within a few days) are aiming to do, to destroy the infrastructure, logistics and centers of state control, following the Yugoslav scenario.

After which they will try to plunge Iran into chaos of intertribal, interreligious, interethnic and all sorts of other discord. And social discord, since there is quite strong social stratification there. To turn it into something like what Libya, Syria, Iraq, and even Afghanistan to some extent are now - all the states where the United States acted with so-called "peacekeeping functions".

That is, where everyone is fighting against everyone, where the government is weak, where there is no technology, no army, no normal industry, but simply some oases from which the “great powers” ​​pump out raw materials for themselves in exchange for small resources.

This is what they are going to turn Iran into. And if Iran does not receive the necessary support from its allies - Russia and China, and very serious and significant support, then most likely, within a month, the enemies will achieve this.

I would like to be wrong on this one, I am not an expert on Iran and I could be wrong about its potential. Maybe it is much better than I think. However, Iran missed the first blow. No matter how many times it shoots at Israel without using weapons of mass destruction, it will all be "pin pricks".

While they will hit Iran, the further, the harder, and the more they will destroy it.

We remember the results of the Yugoslav war of 1999, when a much weaker impact, to which Yugoslavia could not respond, eventually led to the defeat of Yugoslavia, to its actual capitulation. This is approximately what the US and Israel are heading towards.

Iran does not have nuclear weapons, and I do not know who can provide them to it. Israel will not be the first to use nuclear weapons, I believe. And for Iran to use nuclear weapons in this situation, without being properly covered by forces, for example, by the same China, is suicide. Since the response of Israel, which has hundreds of nuclear warheads, will be absolutely devastating for Iran and its population.

Therefore, I emphasize, if Iran itself does not use nuclear weapons first, which it does not yet have, then no nuclear conflict will arise here.

At the moment, I see that #Russia is completely distancing itself from its ally. At least at the level of public statements, Iran is not receiving any help from our side. Maybe there is some help - first of all, Russia can only help with intelligence information, and practically nothing else, since it is completely tied up in the swamp of the Ukrainian war.

But #China could help Iran much more substantially and save it from defeat. And this is the second possible scenario. But, as they say, here again I will remain silent, since I am not competent enough in matters of the possibility of providing such assistance and China's ability to provide it in the shortest possible time.

The map was dismissed as a joke. But the strategy is deadly serious.

Last week, the US Military launched a raid to secure oil in #Venezuela. This week, leaked documents reveal a renewed push by Washington to "purchase" #Greenland. The media calls it a real estate fantasy. But the Pentagon calls it survival.

In this video, we expose the "Fortress America" strategy. We reveal the secret of the Tanbreez Mine—the massive deposit of #Dysprosium that the US Air Force desperately needs to break its dependence on #China. We analyze the "Project 2029" leak and connect the dots between the chaos in the South and the militarization of the North.

The United States is retreating from the global stage and locking down the Western Hemisphere. It’s not about land. It’s about the resources needed to fight World War III.

Beijing moves to contain Mossad’s expanding reach in Iran

Israeli intelligence operations inside Iran have alarmed Beijing, which saw them as a new model of intelligence warfare, prompting deeper technological, security, and strategic cooperation with Tehran.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen English, Chilean journalist and scholar Renato Velez warned that US President Donald Trump’s escalating pressure and sanctions on #Cuba are part of a broader strategy rooted in the "Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine".

He said #US policy is driven by two core goals: denying rivals like #Russia, #China, and #Iran access to the region, and securing critical resources from #Caribbean oil to South America’s #lithium reserves.

Velez emphasized that breaking Cuba’s alliance with Venezuela is central to this agenda, calling it "the logical next step" in Washington’s push for dominance, warning that Cuba is now facing mounting pressure pushing the island toward a "humanitarian catastrophe".

What is the best investment for wartime?  Not gold, not silver, not even AI stocks | Inside China Business

Industrial metals markets are melting down, as soaring demand from defense contractors and export bans from China result in skyrocketing prices.

Tunsten is a superhard, superdense material vital in the production of munitions, ballistics, and armor.  It is also in high demand in mining and manufacturing.

China controls the world's supply of tungsten, and also has half of the world's proven reserves.  Dual-use export bans on the metal have restricted its sale solely to civilian users of the metal, at the same time weapons stockpiles are drained for the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.

The Curious Case of Professor Jiang: How the Internet Manufactured a Geopolitical Oracle. | Hidden AmuraKa

This video takes a closer look at Professor Jiang Xueqin and the structure behind his rise.

On the surface, his story is straightforward: a #Yale graduate, an educator, a commentator who built an audience through sharp, accessible explanations of geopolitics. But when you trace the full timeline, from his early movement through Yale–#China institutional corridors, to his detention and deportation under suspicion of espionage, to his re-entry into elite Chinese schools, and finally to his sudden emergence as a mass-media figure, the sequence begins to feel less ordinary.

This isn’t a hit piece, and it isn’t blind praise. It’s an attempt to map the pattern.

The video walks through Jiang’s early writings, his role in education reform, his time in Afghanistan, and the long gap before his reappearance online.

BPFdoor in Telecom Networks: Sleeper Cells in the backbone | Rapid 7 Labs

A months-long investigation by Rapid7 Labs has uncovered evidence of an advanced China-nexus threat actor, Red Menshen, placing some of the stealthiest digital sleeper cells the team has ever seen in telecommunications networks. The goal of these campaigns is to carry out high-level espionage, including against government networks.

Telecommunications networks are the central nervous system of the digital world. They carry government communications, coordinate critical industries, and underpin the digital identities of billions of people. When these networks are compromised, the consequences extend far beyond a single provider or region. That level of access is, and should be, a national concern as it compromises not just one company or organization, but the communications of entire populations.
